Is there an easy way to get cocoa butter out of the jar? I tried chipping it out with an ice cream scoop but that takes forever. Microwave didn't like tiny bits of leftover bits of foil.

I just got a bottle of MMS Apple Jack and wanted to post my thoughts. This is the catalog description: "A festive combination of McIntosh red apples, juicy oranges and Madagascar vanilla perfectly complimented with our own special blend of spices". It definitely smells like apple but I'm not...

Has anybody ever used jack frost in cp soap? Does the fragrance hold? Personally I don' like it in lotion but i thought peppermint soap might be nice.

Does ground rose hips scent CP soap at all.?

I just got a big tub of virgin coconut oil and was thinking about using it in some lotion but I don't see a lot of recipes using it. Is it not a normal lotion oil? If it can be used, it the aroma overpowering? The recipe I was thinking about modifying uses 4 oils, so the coconut would be...

If I use about 25% coconut oil in a lotion, how overpowering will the aroma be? Do I need to stick with foody FOs in the lotion? I really like the feel of it but I'm not sure I want to slather my body in tropical fruit fragrances right now. I don't have much else in the food variety - just...

Considering the vendors sell large quantities of unscented lotion, it seems like I should be able to do that also with my own recipes. But how do you go about adding fragrance? Just measure the lotion, add fragrance, stir well? Or do I need to heat it up again? Would I be better off not...

Kind of the same question actually... I'm looking at a recipe for a hand balm. It's about half almond oil and half apricot kernel oil along with some butters and beeswax. I've got everything except the apricot kernel oil. I was looking at the properties of it and it seems like either...

I've got some pretty old cocoa butter which was stored in a dark, cool basement and was never opened until this month. I'd bet it's pushing the 5 year mark which is what I've heard its life expectancy is. I used some in a test batch of soap which turned out rather nice. But I'm wondering what...

I'm a newbie to all of this and my brain is about to short-circuit.... I have a lotion recipe I want to try. When I add up the weight of all the ingredients, it comes out to 100 gr. If I convert 100gr to ounces, that's 4 oz. But everything my cooking experience has taught me says that liquid...

I'm just discovered CP soap making after deciding years ago that (HP) soap making had no place in my life. So I'm having a ball, collecting different oils and other ingredients and making up my own recipes (thanks to SoapCalc). But I did have a question..... aren't there any suppliers that will...
